Yi Ling smirked, her eyes gleaming with a mix of challenge and amusement. There was a spark in her gaze, one that spoke of determination and a hint of mischief. "I have chased you since my first life and only caught you in my second life. In this third life of mine, there are no guarantees that I can have another life after this."

Muxin's eyes widened at her words. The shock of her bold declaration left him momentarily speechless. He had always known that her love for him was strong, but hearing it articulated so plainly, with such fierce determination, took him aback. He saw the fire in her eyes, the unwavering resolve that had driven her through lifetimes.
